On the Ruins of His Regret I Soar novel Chapter 251

Melissa was stunned. She couldn't believe Jessica would be so brazen at someone else's wedding. Spilling a drink from behind could be passed off as an accident, but Jessica had thrown hers right in her face. There was no explaining that away.

"Are you insane?" Melissa shrieked. "I told you it was an accident, and you deliberately threw a drink on me!"

"I have a history of mental illness, you know that," Jessica said with a smirk. "Don't be surprised I threw a drink on you. I could probably get away with murder."

"Daniel, we've been set up!" she yelled, holding the vase threateningly. "Snap out of it! You don't want to do something you'll regret!"

But Daniel was like a caged animal, beyond reason. All he knew was that she was the only person in the room who could relieve the fire consuming him. He had to get to her, or he felt like he would explode.
